No bezels at all?
Posted: 05 Dec 2010, 18:47
Hello and good evening,
since I got the official permission from my girlfriend to build a multi-monitor set-up with 3 screens, I was busy on finding the right displays.
Right now I have a very nice 26" LG monitor with IPS Panel in 1900x1200, unfortunately with big bezels (about 2.5cm on each side). I have never considered buying an LCD-TV for gaming, just because TV belongs to the living room (at least that was my opinion) :-).
To make things short, I am planning to buy 3 of these LCD-TV by LG:
http://www.lg.com/de/tv-heimkino-blu-ray/tv/LG-lcd-tv-32SL8000.jsp
The correct name would be LG SL 8000 32". These LCDs do not have any side bezels at all and come with full-hd resolution (that would be 1900 x 1080).
As an alternative I was thinking of 3 u2711 by dell: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&sku=224-8284&redirect=1 .The main advantage would be, that vram munching anti-aliasing and stuff would not be necessary at a resolution of 2560 x 1440 on a 27" screen. On the other hand, hefty price (1000 Euro each), smaller diameter and larger bezels hold me off to get a triplet.
Searching the Internet, I could not find anyone using 3 sl 8000 as multi monitor setup, so I was wondering whether it would be a good idea. Probably that resolution would be too coarse for a screen of that size.
what do you guys think?
Cheers from Germany
